The Moneen after

Moneen were putting on a very enthusiastic performance when I wandered over from watching The Aggrolites. I like all the jumping about from a visual point of view, but can't say their actual music was making me a fan. Screamo isn't really my favourite genre and there are a few locals who do it better anyway.

Kenny Bridges sings!



Kenny twirls! It's a tribute to the band's athleticism (and the declining light) that most of the photos I took of them are a bit out of focus.



Chris "Hippy" Hughes sings!



Erik Hughes handles the low end.



Chris and a mostly obscured Kenny jump about!



Erik sings!



Hair-shaking action! Plus drummer Steve Nunnaro.



More Steve!



One last shouty bit!



So my eyeballs give them an A-, but my ears only go for a C+ ... your results may differ, etc.
